【語(yǔ)法分析】

 

本句的主干為George Bush is to unveil a reform plan，過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)pushed by polls and by forecasts作原因狀語(yǔ)。Polls后面跟了一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句that show..problems對(duì)其進(jìn)行修飾，現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)showing that… finances作后置定語(yǔ)修飾forecasts。

 

【譯文】

 

民意調(diào)查顯示，醫(yī)療是美國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)主要問(wèn)題之一；預(yù)測(cè)表明，那些在生育高峰期出生并面臨退休的人將會(huì)拖垮政府的財(cái)政。在這雙重壓力下，喬治·布什將在下周的國(guó)情咨文演講中宣布一項(xiàng)改革計(jì)劃。

 

【考情分析】

 

當(dāng)看到這句話(huà)時(shí)，不要被它的長(zhǎng)度所嚇倒。這句話(huà)的本質(zhì)實(shí)際上就是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的非謂語(yǔ)作狀語(yǔ)，如此龐大的結(jié)構(gòu)只不過(guò)是因?yàn)榍懊娴臓钫Z(yǔ)部分當(dāng)中的某些名詞性成分被加上了從句或分詞結(jié)構(gòu)等修飾成分，其實(shí)整句的核心結(jié)構(gòu)可以寫(xiě)成“Pushed by polls and by forecasts，George Bush is to unveil a reform plan in next week’s state-of-the-union address.” 這樣看的話(huà)，就清楚多了。
